Griddlecooked
Griddlecooked refers to foods prepared on a flat, heated cooking surface called a griddle. The technique relies on direct contact with a smooth, level metal surface to brown and cook foods efficiently, often with minimal or moderate amounts of fat. Griddlecooking can be performed on traditional cast-iron griddles, nonstick griddle pans, electric griddles, or modern flat-top grills.
Technique: Preheat the griddle to a stable medium-high temperature. Lightly oil or butter the surface to reduce
Common griddlecooked items include pancakes, crepes, eggs (fried or scrambled), bacon, sausages, hash browns, grilled cheese
Griddlecooking differs from pan-frying in the amount of fat and the flat surface; it emphasizes surface browning
